Enter a Five Guys hamburger stand in New York's City Village neighborhood and walk towards the "Pick Up Here" sign.
There you'll find a staircase - and a gruff bouncer.
Best to have reservations and your ID on you (not on your phone), and, after satisfying his requirements, the bouncer will let you pass and climb the staircase.
Enter The Garret, a small rectangular speakeasy space with lots of metropolitan charm.
Brick walls painted white. Single hung windows letting in Village rays. Wood floors. Cooper ceilings. Old photos and magazine cut-outs framed as decorations. A pair of chandeliers dangling from ancient skylights.
The lighting is low, the music yesteryear: Lou Reed, Carly Simon, 10cc.
And the cocktails, priced $17 and over, are tasty -- made by a surly-but-sweet bartender.
The Garret, opened in March 2014, is celebrating its tenth year.
Stop by and wish it a happy birthday - or book the private room and celebrate your own.
